[00:02.08]Obama£ºThis Victory Belongs to You
[00:05.68]If there is anyone out there who still doubts
[00:10.28]that America is a place where all things are possible,
[00:13.56]who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time,
[00:18.37]who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.¢C
[00:23.84]It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches
[00:28.98]in numbers this nation has never seen,
[00:31.29]by people who waited three hours and four hours,
[00:34.45]many for the first time in their lives,
[00:37.08]because they believed that this time must be different,
[00:40.68]that their voices could be that difference.
[00:43.86]It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor,
[00:48.35]Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian,
[00:52.94]Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.
[00:57.42]Americans who sent a message to the world
[01:00.81]that we have never been just a collection of individuals
[01:04.20]or a collection of red states and blue states.
[01:07.38]We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
[01:14.38]It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many
[01:18.75]to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve
[01:23.45]to put their hands on the arc of history
[01:25.97]and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
[01:29.91]It's been a long time coming, but tonight,
[01:33.18]because of what we did on this date in this election
[01:36.80]at this defining moment change has come to America.
[01:42.26]The election had many firsts and many stories
[01:45.76]that will be told for generations.
[01:48.17]But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman
[01:51.56]who cast her ballot in Atlanta.
[01:53.86]She is a lot like the millions of others who stood in line
[01:57.25]to make their voices heard in this election except for one thing¡ª
[02:01.07]Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
[02:05.34]When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land,
[02:09.71]she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal,
[02:14.64]new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
[02:19.89]When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world,
[02:24.26]she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness
[02:28.42]and a democracy was saved.
[02:30.39]Yes we can.
[02:31.59]She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham,
[02:36.51]a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta
[02:39.79]who told a people that "We Shall Overcome."
[02:42.86]Yes we can.
[02:44.28]A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin,
[02:48.66]a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
[02:53.25]And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen,
[02:58.28]and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America,
[03:03.64]through the best of times and the darkest of hours,
[03:06.92]she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
[03:11.40]America, we have come so far. We have seen so much.
[03:16.11]But there is so much more to do.
[03:18.95]So tonight, let us ask ourselves
[03:21.91]if our children should live to see the next century;
[03:24.63]if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper,
[03:29.67]what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
[03:33.72]This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
[03:38.09]This is our time to put our people back to work
[03:41.37]and open doors of opportunity for our kids;
[03:44.98]to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;
[03:48.92]to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm
[03:53.29]that fundamental truth that out of many,
[03:56.35]we are one; that while we breathe, we hope,
[03:59.96]and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt,
[04:03.14]and those who tell us that we can't,
[04:05.32]we will respond with that timeless creed
[04:08.50]that sums up the spirit of a people:
[04:10.46]Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you,
[04:14.74]and may God Bless the United States of America.
